For over a century, Big Tobacco has manipulated the American Medical Association , the Food and Drug Administration, and even the Centers for Disease Control, using big money payoffs for thousands of medical doctor endorsements . They covered up and hid the science for over 30 years that smoking causes lung cancer , which they all knew about since the 1930s and 40s. Then came the early 1960s, when Marlboro (and Kool ) commercial cigarette manufacturers figured out they could freebase nicotine using ammonia, making the "hook" of the addiction much stronger, and thus much tougher to quit. They nearly put all the other brands out of business. It was called "ammonia technology" by Philip Morris, and it's said to deliver up to 100 milligrams of nicotine potency in one cigarette, even though machines that gauge the milligrams only read it as 20 - 30 milligrams. That's the hook, and it robs millions of people of their health and livelihood, every day. Loading t...

  Research shows that willpower is actually more important than IQ, which is why the point is not to become “smarter,” but to become more self-disciplined. Will power is the foundation of all human achievements. Everyone has some willpower, but we always feel that we need more, often because we tend to use up what we have. That’s called willpower depletion. The good news is that you can actually train your willpower like a muscle. A famous Italian author once wrote, “I am, indeed, a king, because I know how to rule myself.” Mental and physical health are hinged on how a person feels at any given moment. We must remain in control of how we feel at all times, but how? The answer: balance. We all know how to balance our physical body so we don’t fall over when we stand up, or while we ride a bike, or hop across some stones over a flowing stream. So how do we balance ourselves mentally, and even spiritually, so we don’t “fall over” every time we run into an obstacle, or someone else di...

  Feeling triggered? Eating too much sugar, drinking too much alcohol, or using too much nicotine literally changes the brain's chemistry, but these addictions can be replaced with natural remedies that quell the urges and replace that feeling that you "need" the crutches just to get by. Many people quit addictions, only to be dragged back into them because they get "triggered" when someone around them engages in the activity they quit, like eating sweets in front of them, drinking alcohol near them, or smoking or vaping in their vicinity. Once addicted to sugar, alcohol, or nicotine, the human brain is wired to want it, and it would seem that there's nothing else on the planet that can replace it, but you would be surprised. The neurotransmitter dopamine is the hormone responsible for our "feel good" chemistry, and there are ways to boost it, without using drugs, sugar, or alcohol. You don't have to be a "repeat offender" of the ad...

First and foremost, overcoming addictions is physical. The human body has several cleansing organs that get taxed and overworked, in desperate need of cleansing. Second, specific vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants get drained, leached, and depleted from the body due to the addiction(s), making it harder to recover and not relapse, especially for those who are unaware of the natural remedies that need to be replenished.   Whether you are addicted to sugar, caffeine, alcohol, or nicotine, there are natural solutions available at health food stores online and in the retail sector, and they won't cost you an arm and a leg to load up on either. Time to do a little digging. A little research, and find out the best natural remedies for overcoming common addictions. Don't feel bad. Don't blame yourself. Don't feel defeated. You can win this important battle, and you'll feel great knowing you came out on top, the natural way.   Top 5 natural remedies for overcomi...

Sure, everybody has at least heard that there are all kinds of “chemicals” in commercial cigarettes, and that cancer sticks got that nickname for a reason, but even a non-smoker would be shocked to find out what is really driving the addiction, besides just nicotine. There are 4 shocking ingredients in cigarettes, that have been used for over 50 years, that most people couldn’t even guess were in them, and these ingredients drive   specific kinds of cancer   and the NEED for nicotine. Once these insidious manufacturing tricks are exposed, it’s much easier to understand the cause of the addiction, and it’s also much easier to quit. #1.  Cellulose Acetate  – a form of plastic that is used in  photo film  is also woven (in a cross-hatch pattern) into cigarette paper to make it burn evenly, and burn at temperatures up to 1700 degrees. This is why cigarettes don’t go out in heavy wind, and also why the burning part doesn’t trail up one side, as it would if you r...

  Most smokers have no idea that second hand smoke is JUST AS DEADLY as first hand smoke, and that those around them who 'inhale' are just as likely to get emphysema, cancer, allergies, chest congestion, and suffer longer from sicknesses because of it.  Every fourth adult in the USA uses nicotine, either by cigarette or vape gadget. These are nicotine delivery devices designed to cause people pain, suffering, and early death, and most 'users' have NO IDEA how to quit. That's because nearly all of the "nicotine alternatives" and "quit aids" are scams designed, manufactured, marketed and sold by Big Tobacco and Big Pharma themselves. Oh no!  Then, smokers spend a fortune at the 'harmacy' buying OTC (over the counter) medications and treatments for their symptoms of disease and disorder, including headache meds, coughing relief meds, teeth-whitening agents, mouthwash, allergy meds, cold and flu remedies, and the list goes on. Thousands of do...

Complaints are plastered all over reviews, blogs and comment boards about how nicotine gum leaves you with a bad taste, mouth burn and nausea. Even brands that brag about having decent flavor get the same negative reviews. Then there are the   grim statistics  for the gum and the patch to help people actually quit smoking or vaping, coming in at a low 6 percent (that’s a 94 percent failure rate), and after six months, that figure gets cut in half (that becomes a 97 percent failure rate). That boils down to only 3 percent of all nicotine patch and gum consumers ever really successfully using these products as a quit method. So then the question looms, why do they keep buying them? Let’s take a look. The nicotine patch market globally is worth over $6 billion dollars, and the nicotine gum market another $5 billion. The reason hundreds of millions of nicotine users buy them is to quash the cravings when they can’t use their nicotine delivery device, whether at work, traveling by ...
